Our places in Cray
There are 13 places in Cray, and most are built for small groups. Couples can find one-bedroom lodges, while families have two and three-bedroom options. Sizes then jump to a nine-bedroom house for 19 guests, which is the only real outlier. Nightly costs run from the low end for a simple two-bedroom cabin with a log burner up to well over a thousand pounds for the biggest house, so the choice of budgets is wide. Most of the middle of the range is hot tub lodges with pets accepted on request.
Cray sits in Perthshire, and the Cairngorms National Park Entrance is 820 yards from the cottage. Dundee Airport is 25 miles away, about 42 minutes by car.
Cray sits in the Perthshire glens, on the road between Blairgowrie and the Spittal of Glenshee side, and the lodges here suit couples, families and groups who want a hot tub and some space around them. Almost every place has one, and nearly all of them take dogs, so a walking weekend with a pet is easy to arrange.
Prices usually sit well above what you would pay in the surrounding towns. A night typically costs a good deal more than a standard cabin elsewhere in the area, though the cheapest stay found is much lower and has a log burner but no hot tub. Most places sleep between 2 and 6, with one very large house for 19. Guests rate the stays highly, around 9.4 out of 10. Weeks cost a little more outside winter than in it, so the gap between seasons is small.
Features
Hot tubs are the standard here, with 12 of the 13 places having one. Log burners and gardens each appear in 7 places, a little over half. High chairs turn up in 5, which helps if you are travelling with a baby. BBQs and fishing are rarer, and the places that offer them are usually the larger and dearer ones. Fishing in particular goes with the priciest stays. Gardens and high chairs sit with the cheaper end, while log burners add a little to the usual night.

By number of guests
Sleeps 2 is the dearest option per person, because a one-bedroom lodge still carries the cost of a hot tub and the setting. Moving up to sleeps 3 to 4 brings the cost per head down a lot, and sleeps 5 to 6 brings it down again. A usual night for the 5 to 6 band is actually a little cheaper than for the 3 to 4 band. If you are travelling as a group of four to six, splitting a larger lodge is the better value in Cray by some margin.
November is the cheapest month shown, and December costs a little more. From January to March prices stay close together, then April is the dearest of the six months. Availability is tighter in November and December, with far fewer free nights than from January onwards. That suggests late autumn and the run-up to Christmas fill up first, while the new year has plenty of space. If you want a short break at a lower price, November is the month to look at.
